Full Home Automation Training?

Question

I'm really interested in the Home Automation field (smart homes). I've found some on-line home study deals that help you pass certain certification exams (est, dhti+), but nothing that seems very thorough. Lincoln Tech offers an 11 month program for the EST certification, but it costs $18,000. I was wondering if anyone knew of a good training program at a reasonable price. Ideally live instruction. I'm in the Chicagoland area. Thanks!!

If your really interested in home automation learning isnt going to be cheep.  But I would reccomend looking into a company called crestron electronics.  They are the leaders in automation and offer classes for different levels.
